When your. lips are farther' away than this, your voice is tranfimitted less strongly ... less clearly. Failure to remember these simple facts accounts for the great majority of "trouble" reports.

A wall set can't come to you; stand or sit so that your lips are directly in from of and close to the mouth- , piece. Don't "talk across" k.

Few of our citizens express their opinions on political and economic; questions. We accept what is thrown to us like rabbits in a pen, wrinkling our noses, as we reach for the food. Provision is now to be made for family allowances. Estimates of cost vary all the way from $300 to $400 million per annum. The higher as- sumption is the safer. Programs like. this spread out abundantly after they are started. This, so far as the annu- al charge is concerned, would probab- ly equal the interest upon the nation- al debt arising out of the war. Its adoption would, therefore, be equiva- week end. Mrs. G. W. Sheeley has returned from Toronto, where she had been spending several weeks. Mr. Murray McNeil has gone to Kitchener to take a position. Mr. Stewart Scott is in Toronto this week. When the Present Century Was Young MEI CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, Feb. 18th, 1904. On Tuesday Mr. James E. Rey- nolds of Hullett was married to Miss Mary Lamb, daughter of Mr. Stephen Lamb of Seaforth, The ceremony took place in the Roman Catholic church Seaforth, the officiating clergyman being Rev. 'Father Corcoran. Miss Lizzie Lamb, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid while the groom was as- sisted by his brother, Mr. Owen Reynolds. On their return , fr+.t their honeymoon trip to Detroit and other cities they will take up their. abode on the 5th concession of Hul- lett. Before hermarriage the bride taught in the Hullett Separate school. and the groom is a native of the township. Mr. Hiram Hill returned home on Thursday last from Durand, Mich., where he had been attending the funeral of his brother Adirian, who passed away on Sunday, aged 38 yeasts. His wife survives together with their three children. Mr. John Forrester fattened and sold 1000 chickens last season, ship- ping most of them to. Montreal. The demand p e n for poultry suchas he has uIy been placing upon the market is, in. creasing and prices have been good. Mr. Forrester purposes, however, retiring from the business. Mr. William Carter of HuIlett made thirty-two -entries at the poultry show held recently in Gode- rich and every bird exhibited won a prize. Thirty', one firsts and two seconds was a pretty good showing. A match between the Clinton and Hensall junior hockeyteams was played in. the local rink • on Thursday evening last and, resulted in favor of the home septette, consisting of goal, P. Couch point, D.

The business conducted by Mr. H. B. Combe was the first drug business ever opened in Clinton. It was start- ed on tart-ed'•on the same lot as is now occupied by the present business' by the late Thomas Smith, in the itattenbury House and has been conducted under the name of Combe's Drug Store for the last 47 years. Combe's new store is without doubt the handsomest and most modernly fitted drug store west carefully, what it means. ; After all sides have been presented and every aspect of the problem has been reviewed, there still remains this primary thought— is there a better alternative use for the money which we propose to spend on family allowances? When we can give a considered answer to that question, we shall be clearer in our understand- ing of the problem, closer to right action. We are always ready to accept a spending program with only scant consideration of the means of pay- ment. A full and frank discussion of this particular issue should be help- ful to parliament and to the nation. The best place for a discussion of this kind is the Editorial Pages of the country papers. It would be interest- ing to hear from a number of our more thoughtful letter writers. R. J. Henchman 53 Queen St., Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 10, 1944. Their 53rd, Anniversary Today.

Goderich Signal -Star. 185 Jacks Bagged in Largest Drive Yet The largest jack rabbit drive that. this district ever had was held Wed- nesday of last week when 42 men shot 185 rabbits in four Biddulph township blocks. If some of the men had not run out of shells the bag coald easily have gone over the two hundred mark. That number of jacks could easily do a lot of dam- age to the wheat fields. The high score for the day was twelve jacks going to Lorne Passmore. .Several others got' eleven. —Exeter Times Advocate. v Won Tenor Solo Class at Toronto Festival Lloyd Stewart of Stratford and son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Stewart of town was in Toronto last week attending the Kiwanis Musical Fes- tival held in Eaton's Auditorium.

PAGE 3 This is the year of supreme effort, the year Red Cross will be needed as never before, And as. our all-outvictory drive gainsmomentum, as casualty. lists mount, as the horrors of war spread wider and sink deeper, this need will grow. We must see thein through: the fighting men on. every front, the gallantMerchant Navy, the wound- ed and maimed in British and. Canadian hospitals, Prisoners of War, the homeless war orphans of Britain and the suffering: millions of Europe: Only the Red Cross meets this call for vital life saving food for Prisoners of War parcels, medicines, comforts,blood 'serum and nursing that spell survival for so many. There is no one elseto do the job. That is why we cannot fall; why we ask you to open your hearts and purses, giving to the limit of your ability. t 3 Remember, Victory will not be cheap; the real need lies ahead. A. -J. McMurray Chairman e Phone 159 Clinton central f, Scout News Boy Scout week now being observ- ed across Canada, is a week set apart n the midst of our multitude of duties and activities to consider the benefits accruing from Boy Scout work. In days when, on every side is heard comment upon juvenile de- linquency, it is appropriate to draw attention to an organization which has probably done more than any other to imbue young boys with character and prevent theist from growing into delinquents. If this is true in tines of peace it is even more true in war. The oroginal high mo- tives and obligations of the Scouts as set forth by the founder, Lord Baden- Powel, have been rigidly adhered to and Scout's promise carries the same sense of integrity and honor now asit did i the first year of n n s y r Scouting. The worth of the move- ment in wartime has been expressed by Prime Minister Churchill: "The Boy Scout Movement survived not only the war of (1914-18) but the numbing reactions of the aftermath; While so many elements in the life and spirit of the victorious nation seemed lost in stupor, it flourished and grew increasingly., It speaks to every heart its message of duty and Service for others is the keystone of the Movement, a sound philosophy based on the troth that it is only by giving that any human being experi- ences the chief joy of living. "The, real way to get happiness" wrote Lard Baden Towel in his farewell message to the Scouts "is, by giving out happiness to other people. Try and leave this world a little •.better than you found it and when your turn conies to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best" When a 'man grows into the sere and yellow leaf without having at any time experienced, or had cause to experience, the pangs of remorse 1. his has been a happy life and a good I life. The: boy who is a Scout is most likely to grow up to .be that sort of a man. In a word of shifting scenes and changing values Scouting stands fast, .a reassuring Iandmark at a time when many marks have been lost and many of our cherished beliefs consumed and wasted in the flames of war. Canadian Red Cross Ur- gently Needs $10,000,000 The Canadian Red Cross National appeal for $10,000,000 opens on Feb- ruary 28th, when the people of Cana- da will be asked to contribute just, as much as they possibly can to make this objective a certainty, Coming into the fifth year of the wide -spread war, with more Allied countries desperately in need of sup. plies and comforts of all kinds, the Canadian Red Gross is stepping up production in every department to meet requisitions as they come in. This year there are more prisoners of war. $5,500,000 must be spent on food parcels alone, with an additional larcels for Allied Red Cross Societies. Dried blood serum is growing in importance with the advance of ourr e50 000 armed forces,.and $7e b , will required to keep this vital service functioning at top speed,as it must. Hospital supplies and comforts for the Forces require $3,000,000. With a growing feeling that the war may be coming to a close, there is an even greater need for concen- tration on Red Cross supplies. The people ' of the occupied countries have been stripped of their -posses- sions. They have literally nothing. With the ending of hostilities, Cana- dian Red ana-dian-Red Cross will be faced with an extension of her active war services. Peacetime commitments have been kept up, with regard to nursing and first aid outpost hospitals and pub- lic health. To meet any eventuality, Canadian Red Cross must stand pre- pared. There has never beeiia time in the history of Canadian Red Cross when there was a greater need for the all- out support from loyal Canadians. Last year the objective was reached -- and passed. This year the need is. greater.. Can- adian Red Cross is the living link be- tween Canadians at home and kin overseas. Keep mercy on the marcjt!' v Wesley -Willis W.M.S.
